STUDY AREAS

Our architecture students have access to the best design minds in the country. Our architects in residence, Lawrence Nield, Kerry and Lindsay Clare, Peter Stutchbury and Richard Leplastrier, are fully involved in design teaching at all levels in the school.

Professor Peter Davis took up the role of Chair of Construction Management in early 2014. He has equal experience in terms of time in industry and academic research/teaching, and his industry experience provides a leadership focus on construction management, estimating and administering significant
projects.

Over the past four years, our architecture students have won the RAIA NSW Design Medal three times and received three commendations. In 2013, they took out the Medal, a Commendation and the Undergraduate Prize.

Our construction management students have the option of taking their degree entirely online. Graduates of this program are in demand – in 2010, 96% of our completing students were employed on graduation.
